This is a hard blog for me to type...we decided to take Ric to the ER last night, due to lack of energy, headaches, nausea and vomiting.  They did a CT scan on Ric...the tumour is back.  It appears to be in the right frontal region this time...last time was the right temporal region.  Now this is just a CT, so we are waiting for an MRI... so doc's can give us a better idea of location and size.  From that information there will be an idea of what steps should be taken next.  Presumably surgery...will keep you all posted. 

I am happy to say after Ric was admitted to the hospital, he was given fluids and meds, and what an improvement.  The headaches are gone, no more nausea  or vomiting, and he is eating again!  Ric's appetite has really decreased over the last 3 weeks.  I would have to say he dropped another 10 pounds, which likely brings him down to 185-190 pounds.    Ric has a ton of support, and a whole lot of strength behind him in this next battle that he must fight.  He is a fighter and we are very proud of him. 

I wish I had a Ric's pic for you all...but I don't...maybe next time.

Hi Ric and Tracey,
Sorry to hear of this news. Hope the MRI went well and that the surgical team and oncologists can eradicate this tumour. May God also lay his healing hands upon Ric. Strength to you in the days ahead.
Love Janet and Doug
